Yeah, right.
No guarantee or justification the figures are "high end".
Only highly hyped and highly overpriced.

Just thinking about this gives me a headache...I don't know this offhand, but why don't someone invite Nick to join Collector Freaks?
Heck, maybe he'll pony up the $ to join as a CF vendor sponsor?
Maybe he'll feel entitled to demand he be added as a honorary CF vendor sponsor for free with a lifetime CF premium membership for free?
Why he can spew his promotional buffoonery within CF, argue online with anyone questioning his posts, and demand the CF admins/mods to cancel/remove anyone critical of him because CF is benefitting from his association and his connection to Stallone?
The preceding is not hyperbole or sarcasm because it could very well happen/already under consideration. We've seen such occur before within the group before the name change and also after depending on the brand/manufacturer and vendor.
Again, it's about the $. However, in Nick's case it's about his ego along with the $.
ExactlyYeah, right.

--Just thinking about this gives me a headache...
I really don't know but, after my last experiences with certain figures that I've recently received, I think I will stop preordering and start buying only once I have seen the real product, or cancelling preorders if the real figure is bad. And yeah, I don't care if it runs out or goes up in price: it's just a matter of dignity and not feeling cheated.--
Not me.
Just further validation of how some aspects of the 1:6 hobby is worsening for collectors.
Then again, it's not "our problem" is it? We choose to buy whatever we want with our $ however much it's overhyped, overpriced, and sucks? Why some end up butt hurt because they choose to reward/support buffoonery antics of a brand/manufacturer along with poor quality and it's their right to do so?
Yeah, I'm still excited, though the price will obviously run higher.
But but but WHY 1/12 if they continue with their Robocop series in 1/18 scale... Will they abandon this scale definitively or what? Well, I'm still interested in this line anyway.Well, well - I'm 100% in, but colour me a tiny bit disappointed HIYA is moving to 1:12 scale and not sticking with cool little 1:18 figs

Yeah, as you said the other day, it's one of the news that has excited me the most about the hobby in recent times, although I did not expect the scale change. And I think it's a general feeling, because I've already seen some disappointed reactions in the comments to their Facebook post. But now it's time to wait and see how they work on this new thing, because its price will be much higher, but also the demand for details. I'm also surprised that they chose this franchise to start a new line, when NECA abandoned it at the time citing poor sales/lack of interest from collectors.SAME - I absolutely LOVE 1:18... this is a letdown. Still a purchase - with hopes for the full series - but I'm with you 100%.
Yo I've just checked and this is REAL "Welcome to the SlyStalloneShop, house of pancakes & action figures".nick will go on a rampage only he can produce rambo figures! in the meantime he made the pots to cook Rocky's pancakes for only $ 40!

Except SNAKE EYES and STORM SHADOW!The 1:12 Rambo figures can now kill all of my 1:12 GI JOE CLASSIFIED figures without breaking a sweat.
--Just imagine that slystallone shop is present toys or dark toys or premier toys take your pick.
Saying that have seen some nice punisher heads from present toys being teased, luckily for my wallet, I have no interest in the character. And dark toys are doing nice products, same with premier toys mad max despite the undersized head.
Anyway, whats my point... oh yeah.
If they just put up a few images of the actual figure, not a proto with hand painted head, hand tailored outfit, a little artistic license
( nice lighting, good angles maybe a little touch of photoshop) would have been excusable.
The fact is what they originally showed and subsequently showed do not match by a long chalk. This is the problem
Expectation and Reality.
I can fool myself into thinking it will be as good as promised why shouldnt I, its endorsed by sly whose not gunna steer me wrong surely?
You need to see some of the rubbish endorsed by sly.
For example
You might think thats not too bad but the actual item is massive compared to the film used one.
A guy wanted to send me his for a laugh but I said no, as some were selling for 42 pounds, some as little as a tenner, but still.
People will buy anything and more importantly sly will endorse anything.
Its buisness gotta keep pushing the merch, keep the brand relevant.
Quality is bad though, dont matter keep pushing forward thats how winning is done.
Someone make a meme or gif take your pick, its got so silly now I've got to take a break but am glad people are giving nick some grief in the instagram comments.
It was and still is mostly a love fest praising stallone, never got that. Very unlikely he would be sitting there reading any of the comments.
Again got nothing against nick don't know him, don't wish to know anymore about him. Just hope they listin to the target audience as already said that will buy the figures, once they can SHOW better in hand head/figure and will guarantee is exactly what you're getting.
